Abstract: A server device includes first and second acquisition units, a memory, an analyzer, a generating unit, and a transmitter. The first acquisition unit acquires first history information about an operation performed during displaying of a first screen in at least one client device and first attribute information about at least one user thereof. The memory stores the two acquired pieces of information. When receiving an acquisition request for a new screen from a client device of the at least one client device, the second acquisition unit acquires second attribute information about a first user using the client device. The analyzer analyzes the two stored pieces of information to specify an operation characteristic of a second user having an attribute indicated by the second attribute information. The generating unit generates a second screen according to the specified operation. The transmitter transmits screen data indicating the second screen to the client device.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus, includes: a registration unit that refers to a use limit information memory which stores use limit information indicating a policy of a use limit of a document corresponding to a set of a mark image indicating that use of the document is limited and user associated information relating to a user associated to the document, extracts the mark image and person in charge information from document image information obtained by reading a paper document including the mark image and the person in charge information indicating a person in charge with respect to contents of the paper document, acquires the use limit information corresponding to a set of the extracted mark image and the user associated information corresponding to the extracted person in charge information from the use limit information memory, and registers the acquired use limit information associated with a document including the document image information in a document memory.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus, includes: a registering unit for referring to a first storing unit for storing usage limitation information indicating a policy of usage limitation of a document which corresponds to a pair of a stamp image corresponding to an image representing that the document is limited in use, and the number of the stamp images, extracting the stamp image from document image information obtained by reading a paper document containing at least one of the stamp images, obtaining the usage limitation information corresponding to a pair of the extracted stamp image and the number of the extracted stamp images from the first storing unit, and registering the obtained usage limitation information and the document containing the document image information in correlation with each other into a second storing unit.

Abstract: In response to an instruction to copy data from a first electronic document to a second electronic document, a protected document generating section of a document processing apparatus newly generates a third electronic document as a copying result. A combining requesting section requests combining of pieces of manipulation authority information (policies) to be applied to the first and second electronic documents, respectively. In response to the request, a policy combining section of a policy managing apparatus combines the two pieces of manipulation authority information together into third manipulation authority information. A protected document registering section registers the third electronic document and the third manipulation authority information in a document DB.

Abstract: A management apparatus which includes: a receiving unit that receives first authorization information for a first document that is already issued and contains document identification information identifying at least one document for which it is possible to issue authorization information and an issuance request requesting that second authorization information for a second document be issued; a verifying unit that verifies authenticity of the first authorization information that is received by the receiving unit; a checking unit that, in a case where the authenticity of the first authorization information is verified, checks whether or not document identification information identifying the second document is included in the first authorization information; and an issuing unit that, in a case where the document identification information identifying the second document is included in the first authorization information, issues the second authorization information.

Abstract: A system includes: first and second devices that each register, in response to a request from a user, control information for target information in a memory, and provide, upon receipt of a request for usage information concerning the target information from the user, the user with the usage information, based on the control information in the memory, wherein the first device includes a first unit that provides, in response to the request from the user, the user with a list of the control information for the second device, and upon receipt of selection of the information from the list, sends the selected information to the second device so as to be associated with target information, and the second device includes a second unit that receives the control information associated with the target information and registers the control information in the memory so as to be associated with the target information.
